Hello,
I found out about Gamin when I was looking for a library that could
handle inotify hooks in Python.
Gamin is working nicely, and reports changes in the directory
structure quite fast. However, it seems to pass both absolute and
relative paths as a feedback in the callback events. Is there any way
to alter this behavior? Or is there any "best practice" to reconstruct
the absolute path from the relative paths given?
Example:
>>> import gamin
>>> def callback(path, event):
... print path, event
>>> monitor = gamin.WatchMonitor()
>>> monitor.watch_directory('/tmp/test', callback)
[... now in another shell, I create /tmp/test/foo ...]
>>> monitor.handle_events()
>>> monitor.stop_watch('/tmp/test')
This results in:
bar 5
While I would like to find out that this was "/tmp/test/foo". In the
full project I am registering about 5000 paths to monitor.
